Framing with Bling {Bo Bunny Design Team}

Today the design team girls at Bo Bunny were give the challenge to use framing in a creative way. For my layout I used the new Bo Bunny Jewel Flourishes to create a unique swirly frame. I also used one of their new background stamps to make another frame that is meant to draw the eye into the photo and at the same time frame the title. The photo is of my niece Jade, she is such a sweet lil thing!

Here is a close-up photo of the crystal flourish frame. I just pasted my photo down on some Bo Bunny Vintage Dot paper (I just LOVE these papers, the make great backgrounds and accents for pages!) and then layed my flourishes around the photo. Then I just simply cut around the flourish designs with some scissors to complete the frame.

Here is a close-up shot of the stamp frame. I just used the corner stamp from the 'Flourishes and Such" stamp collection and stamped down my 4 corners. I then used a black pen to draw a squiggley line and doodled squiggles on that line to link the corners. The title sticker is from Heidi Swapp.

For my bloom I used one of the Bo Bunny Denim Dahlia blooms, but in this case I took the bloom apart and used the base of the bloom and the center (I saved the middle layer for another use....it's a darker navy blue) and I cute some flower shapes from the same Vintage dot paper to layer in the middle. The two white blooms I got at Michaels in the $1.50 bargain bin, they were white and I just added a hint of blue with an old paint brush and some blue chalk ink (Versa Magic Pastels)

Hi Gabrielle,what a lovely LO. Thank you for explaining so well how you make things,you are very creative and I love the way you had the idea to connect the stamped corners with a doodle-line. Have a nice weekend,greetings Miranda

About Me

Hi everyone!
I'm a stay at home mom of two wonderful girls and am married to the love of my life Steve. I started scrapbooking in 2006 when my sister introduced me to it and haven't looked back since! I would say my style is ever changing but if I were to name a style I'd say its 'shabby-chic/vintage'. I've been published in Creating Keepsakes Magazine, Memory Makers Magazine and Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine, Scrap365 Magazine, Canadian Scrapbooker and Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine along with a number of online Magazines. I have been on a number of Designs teams in the past including Daisy D's, Zva Creative, The Color Room and am presently on the Design Team for Bo Bunny, Webster's Pages and Dusty Attic, Maja Design and Scrap365 Magazine. This is my place to share what I'm working on and some new techniques and products I love.
